Project description:Maternal diabetes is a teratogen that can lead to neural tube closure defects in the offspring. We therefore sought to compare gene expression profiles at the site of neural tube closure between stage-matched embryos from normal dams, and embryos from diabetic dams. Neurulation-stage mouse embryos at 8.5 days of gestation were used to prepare neural tissue at the anterior aspect of neural tube closure site 1. Tissue was procured from the open neural tube immediately anterior of the closure site, and from the closed neural tube immediately posterior to the closure site by laser microdissection. For each sample, 10 sections were pooled, total RNA was extracted, and 7 ng of total RNA were used for expression profiling by Tag sequencing using an Applied Biosystems SolidSAGE kit for library construction, and an AB SOLiD 5500 XL instrument for sequencing. Sequence reads were mapped to RefSeq RNA, and count data per gene were obtained using a modified version of the Applied Biosystems SOLiDâ?¢ SAGEâ?¢ Analysis Software. diabetic dam - closed neural tube // diabetic dam - open neural tube // normal dam - closed neural tube // normal dam - open neural tube

Project description:Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular failure and premature death. Owing to severe complications, lung biopsies cannot be envisioned to characterize the disease. Based on the prominent role of inflammation in PAH development, we used Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) as cell source, and relied on the SOLiD platform of Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) for transcriptional profiling

Project description:GNAS, a gene encoding G-protein stimulating alpha subunit, is frequently mutated in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), which is an indolent and slow-growing pancreatic neoplasm that secretes abundant mucin. GNAS mutation is not observed in conventional ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. To determine the functional significance of GNAS mutation in pancreatic ductal cells, we examined in vitro phenotypes and gene expression profiles of cells of pancreatic ductal lineage, HPDE, PK-8, PCI-35, and MIA PaCa-2, with exogenous expression of either wild-type or mutated (R201H) GNAS. We found that exogenous GNAS upregulated intracellular cyclic-adenine monophosphate, particularly in the mutated GNAS transfectants. Exogenous GNAS induced no obvious cell-growth promotion, but induced suppression in some cells. The exogenous GNAS upregulated MUC2 and MUC5AC in HPDE and PK-8, and the latter was most sensitive to exogenous GNAS, exhibiting drastic alteration of the global gene expression that is consistent with that of IPMN. Hence, PK-8 expressing exogenous mutated GNAS may be an ideal in vitro model of IPMN. On the other hand, exogenous GNAS downregulated expression of mucin genes and produced modest alteration of gene expression profiles in PCI-35 and MIA PaCa-2, indicating lower sensitivity to exogenous GNAS. Furthermore, we showed diverse and cell-type specific mucin expression pathways with complicated interactions between signaling pathways of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K), in which the GPCR pathway appeared to be dominant in some and the MAPK pathway in others. In conclusion, mutated GNAS found in IPMNs may extensively alter gene expression profiles, including expression of mucin genes, with the interaction with MAPK and PI3K pathways in pancreatic ductal-lineage cells, which may determine the characteristic phenotype of the neoplasm. Cells of pancreatic cancer cell lines, PK-8, PCI-35,and MIA PaCa-2, were seeded at 4 M-CM-^W 10^5 cells/well in 6-well plates and incubated for 24 hours at 37M-BM-0C in 5% CO2 with humid atmosphere. Then the cells were transfected with either pcDNA 3.1/V5-His vector or pcDNA3.1-GNAS(R201H)-V5-His vector using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys recommendations. The cells were incubated for 24 hours and collected by dissociation using trypsin. Total RNAs were isolated using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) library was constructed using a SOLiD SAGE Kit (Life Technologies) according to the manufactureM-bM-^@M-^Ys instruction. The constructed libraries were analysed by means of the massively parallel sequencing method using SOLiD 4 System (Life Technologies). The SAGE analysis was performed for samples obtained from single transfection experiment.

Project description:The specific genes influencing the quantitative variation in macronutrient preference and food intake are virtually unknown. We refined a previously identified mouse chromosome 17 (MMU17) region harboring quantitative trait loci (QTL) with large effects on preferential macronutrient intake-carbohydrate (Mnic1), total kilcalories (Kcal2), and total food volume (Tfv1) using interval-specific congenic strains. These loci were isolated in the [C57BL/6J.CAST/EiJ-17.1-(D17Mit19-D17Mit50); B6.CAST-17.1] strain, developed by introgressing a ~40.1 Mb CAST MMU17 region into recipient B6 genome. In a diet selection paradigm (carbohydrate/protein vs. fat/protein), these B6.CAST-17.1 sub-congenic mice eat 30% more calories from the carbohydrate-rich diet, ~10% more total calories, and ~9% more total food volume per body weight. In the current study, this carbohydrate-preferring B6.CAST-17.1 subcongenic strain was crossed with the fat-preferring inbred B6 strain to generate a subcongenic-derived F2 mapping population; genotypes were determined using a high-density, custom SNP panel. The main outcome of this study is that genetic linkage analysis greatly reduced the 95% confidence interval (CI) for Mnic1 (encompassing Kcal2 and Tfv1) from 40.1 to 29.5 Mb and more precisely established the QTL boundaries. Specifically, the genetic architecture for Mnic1 (preferential carbohydrate intake) does not follow the same pattern as that for co-localized Kcal2/Tfv1 (total kcal and food volume, respectively), suggesting the presence of separate quantitative trait genes for these food intake traits. No genetic linkage for self-selected fat intake was detected, underscoring the carbohydrate-specific effects of this MMU17 locus. The Mnic1/Kcal2/Tfv1 QTL was further de-limited to a ~19.1 Mb interval, based on the absence of macronutrient diet selection phenotypes in subcongenic HQ17IIa mice that possess CAST MMU17 donor segment on a C57BL/6Jhg/hg background. A second key finding is the separation of two energy balance QTLs: Mnic1/Kcal2/Tfv1 for food intake and a newly discovered locus regulating short term body weight gain. The genes Decr2, Ppard and Agapt1 in the critical QTL interval were identified and prioritized using a combination of genome sequence analysis, and tag-based transcriptome sequencing to measure hypothalamic gene expression in non-recombinant F2 controls, possessing cast/cast and b6/b6 genotypes across the sub-congenic segment. Global gene expression profiles in the hypothalamus were compared between non-recombinant subcongenic-derived F2 mice, possessing a genotype of cast/cast (n=12) or b6/b6 (n=12) across the Chr 17 subcongenic segment and b6/b6 across the rest of the genome. RNA was isolated from individual mice of each genotype that were selected for study. Specifically, twelve mice of each genotype that displayed the most divergent phenotypic values for self-selected carbohydrate and total kcal intake were chosen for gene expression analysis, i.e., cast/cast mice with the highest and b6/b6 mice with the lowest kcal intake from carbohydrate, or the 25% tails of the distribution. Tissues were harvested ~48 h after re-initiation of the carbohydrate/protein vs. fat/protein diets, following an extended wash-out period on chow diet after completion of the 10 d macronutrient selection test.

Project description:Strand specific RNA sequencing of S. pombe revealed a highly structured programme of ncRNA expression at over 600 loci. Waves of antisense transcription accompanied sexual differentiation. A substantial proportion of ncRNA arose from mechanisms previously considered to be largely artefactual, including improper 3’ termination and bi-directional transcription. Constitutive induction of the entire spk1+, spo4+, dis1+ and spo6+ antisense transcripts from an integrated, ectopic, locus disrupted their respective meiotic functions. This ability of antisense transcripts to disrupt gene function when expressed in trans suggests that cis production at native loci during sexual differentiation may also control gene function. Consistently, insertion of a marker gene adjacent to the dis1+ antisense start site mimicked ectopic antisense expression in reducing the levels of this microtubule regulator and abolishing the microtubule-dependent “horsetail” stage of meiosis. Antisense production had no impact at any of these loci when the RNAi machinery was removed. Thus, far from being simply ‘genome chatter’, this extensive ncRNA landscape constitutes a fundamental component in the controls that drive the complex programme of sexual differentiation in S. pombe. Thorough interrogation of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe transcriptome during sexual differentiation using strand-specific total RNA sequencing (AB SOLiD 3.0 and 3.0+). A total of 19 samples were analysed by two separate machine runs (henceforth first and second runs, respectively). In the first machine run the following 5 samples were processed (on a single sequencing slide): Vegetative haploid (strain IH5974), pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at vegetative growth (0) and pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at 3, 5 and 10 hours following temperature shift from 25ºC to 32ºC to induce meiosis by Pat1 inactivation. In the second machine run the following 14 samples were processed (on two sequencing slides): Vegetative haploid (IH5974), pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at vegetative growth (0) and pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at 3, 5 and 10 hours following the temperature shift (a biological replicate of the first machine run). In addition, asynchronous IH3365 (wild type diploid) was also sequenced to enable a series of pair-wise haploid/diploid comparisons between itself, asynchronous haploid (IH5974) and pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at vegetative growth. Finally, to find putative targets of the two bzip transcription factors atf21 and atf31, we sequenced RNA extracts from IH8832 (atf21.delta diploid) and IH8814 (atf31.delta diploid) before (0), and 3, 5, and 10 hours after the temperature shift, while the pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at vegetative growth (0) and pat1.114 diploid (IH2912) at 3, 5 and 10 hours following the temperature shift were used as reference for this analysis.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant tumour accounting for nearly half of soft tissue sarcomas in children. Altered miRNA levels have been reported in human cancers, including RMS. Using deep sequencing technology, a total of 685 miRNAs were investigated in a group of alveolar RMSs (ARMSs), embryonal RMSs (ERMSs) as well as in normal skeletal muscle (NSM). Bioinformatics pipelines were used for miRNA target prediction and clustering analysis. Ninety-seven miRNAs were significantly deregulated in ARMS and ERMS when compared to NSM. MiR-378 family members were dramatically decreased in RMS tumour tissue and cell lines. Interestingly, members of the miR-378 family presented as a possible target the insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF1R), a key signalling molecule in RMS.

Project description:To investigate the architecture of the E. coli K-12 transcriptome, we used two RNA-Seq technologies to analyze strand-specific transcription at single-nucleotide resolution. We analyzed the data by using an organizational schema to annotate the promoters and terminators that define transcription units across the genome. Our results showed that most (ca. two-thirds) operons have a single promoter and terminator, whereas one-third of operons contain multiple transcription units. We found substantial evidence for differential gene expression within complex operons, which we categorized based on operon architecture. E. coli K-12 strain MG1655 substrain BW38028 and isogenic rpoS mutant were cultured in minimal glucose media and the total transcriptome of log and stationary phase samples was sequenced.

Project description:The given data set is the first deep sequencing transcriptome-wide data set of human Parkinson's disease (PD) patients RNA. The data set was produced from blood leukocytes of PD patients, from the same patients following deep brain stimulation (DBS), and from matched healthy control volunteers. Post-DBS samples were taken from the patients while being on electrical stimulation (ON-Stim), and following one hour off of electrical stimulation (OFF-Stim state). We have previously shown that gene expression changes, and in particular, alternative splicing changes, are observed in blood leukocytes and may contribute to PD and being subjected to regulation following DBS. Here, SOLiD RNA-Seq was applied to study the transcriptome of PD patients. Exon- and junction-level analyses revealed deep insight into both differential expression and alternative splicing regulation in PD blood leukocytes prior to and following DBS both on and off electrical stimulation. This transcriptome genome-wide data obtained through high-throughput sequencing of RNA produced from human Parkinson's disease (PD) patients blood leukocytes prior to treatment and following deep brain stimulation (DBS) neurosurgical treatment may yield insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis of PD and treatment efficacy. It may further enable the development of future diagnostics and therapeutics for PD. Blood leukocyte RNA was analyzed from 3 healthy control volunteers, and from 3 PD patients pre-DBS, ON-Stim, and OFF-Stim.

Project description:Animal development is complex yet surprisingly robust. Animals may develop alternative phenotypes conditional on environmental changes. Under unfavorable conditions C. elegans larvae enter the dauer stage, a developmentally arrested, long-lived, and stress-resistant state. Dauer larvae of free-living nematodes and infective larvae of parasitic nematodes share many traits including a conserved endocrine signaling module (DA/DAF-12), which is essential for the formation of dauer and infective larvae. We speculated that conserved post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism might also be involved in executing the dauer and infective larvae fate. We used an unbiased sequencing strategy to characterize the microRNA (miRNA) gene complement in C. elegans, P. pacificus, and S. ratti. Our study raised the number of described miRNA genes to 257 for C. elegans, tripled the known gene set for P. pacificus to 362 miRNAs and is the first to describe miRNAs in a Strongyloides parasite. Moreover, we found a limited core set of 24 conserved miRNA families in all three species. Interestingly, our estimated expression fold changes between dauer vs. non-dauer stages and infective larvae vs. free-living stages reveal that despite the speed of miRNA gene set evolution in nematodes, homologous gene families with conserved ‘dauer-infective’ expression signatures are present. These findings suggest that common post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms are at work and that the same miRNA families play important roles in developmental arrest as well as long-term survival in free-living and parasitic nematodes. miRNA profiling in mixed and developmentally arrested stages (dauer/infective larvae) of nematodes by small RNA deep sequencing using Illumina GAII, Illumina HiSeq 2000, and ABI SOLiD.

Project description:Major non primate-primate differences in corticogenesis include the dimensions, precursor lineages and developmental timing of the germinal zones (GZ). microRNAs (miRNAs) of laser dissected GZ compartments and cortical plate (CP) from embryonic E80 macaque visual cortex were deep sequenced. The CP and the GZ including Ventricular Zone (VZ), outer and inner subcompartments of the Outer SubVentricular Zone (OSVZ) in area 17 displayed unique miRNA profiles. miRNAs present in primate, but absent in rodent, contributed disproportionately to the differential expression between GZ sub-regions. Prominent among the validated targets of these miRNAs were cell-cycle and neurogenesis regulators. Co-evolution between the emergent miRNAs and their targets suggested that novel miRNAs became integrated into ancient gene circuitry to exert additional control over proliferation. We conclude that multiple cell-cycle regulatory events contribute to the emergence of primate-specific cortical features, including the OSVZ, generated enlarged supragranular layers, largely responsible for the increased primate cortex computational abilities. Seven brain regions (VZ17, OSVZ17int, OSVZ17ext, CP17, VZ18, OSVZ18, CP18). OSVZ17int corresponds to the inner (apical) third of OSVZ 17 and OSVZ17ext to the most outer (basal) third of OSVZ 17, located immediately below the Outer Fiber Layer (Smart et al., 2002; Betizeau et al., 2013)
